CodeStyle

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

In `CodeStyle`, section `Layout and Indentation` one tab
per indent is recommended, with a 4 spaces equivalent to
one tab (ts=4). (But most code seems to use ts=8 anyway.)

'Newer' versions (>=1.2) of GNU indent can handle this.
So the recommended invocation of indent in `CodeStyle`
should probably be changed to:
indent -kr -cp0 -l132 -lps -br -psl -ts4

It does not write that "it is recommended", but "IMHO the only useful 
style", and then: "Much of the code seems to assume tab=8, and uses 4 
spaces, then one tab, then tab+4, then 2tab, ...".

I prefer the current n*8+4.
